Following are two incredible sets of Parahippus leonensis, Late Early Miocene, Dixie Co., FL, appx. 20 million years old.  With each set is a "before" picture which shows how little was added to these jaw sets.  The "before" pictures are glued only, with no material added. Each has an attractive bubinga burl base.  $1400 each set. The photos speak for themselves, but  if you have more questions, please call.

Following are three incredible  articulated leg sets of Parahippus leonensis, Late Early Miocene, Dixie Co., FL, appx. 20 million years old.  All are composites but are carefully matched from the same site.  On these, and the Archaeohippus blackbergi following, all have restoration on the splint bones.  These tiny bones are so extremely thin and fragile, I have never seen an unbroken one, just the proximal and distal portions.  None of the side hooves nor the phalanges have any restoration, and where mentioned, only a small amount on the center hoof.  These are extremely rare specimens, not likely available elsewhere.  All are mounted on attractive hardwood bases with brass rod.

 

 



Measures 7 1/4" high  without stand.  Small amount of restoration on cannon bone, also splint bones, a tiny bit on center hoof, none on other  hooves or phalanges.  Mounted on African padauk base.  $600  order mi754wpe1.jpg (1118 bytes)

 

 

 



Measures 8 5/8" high  without stand.  Small amount of restoration on cannon bone, also splint bones, none on hooves or other phalanges.  Mounted on American chestnut base.
